Our Story
Hi I'm Adam and welcome to Retro Reads and Relics!
Before I began my antiquarian reselling journey, I studied law, history, politics and social sciences for my degree, worked in broadcast media for the BBC and volunteered on hospital radio.
After a decade of working in B2B marketing and event management, I’ve turned my passion for history and nostalgia into a full-time business, sharing rare finds, quirky treasures, and the tales behind them.
Whether it’s a century-old book, a forgotten piece of ephemera, or a collectible with character, I love digging into the details and trying to bring them to life.
My eBay stores showcase these treasures with clear and accurate descriptions and images, inviting fellow enthusiasts to discover the curios of yesteryear. We don't just sell books either, sharing an eclectic mix of collectible antiquarian gems along the way.
Fabulous book in excellent condition with superb illustrations and details of many of Sinan's mosques. Exactly what I had been looking for, but hard to find. Arrived quickly, as described and very well packed. Altogether an outstanding purchase and transaction, many thanks.
